Lovely property for a long weekend. Prime location. Echoing previous reviewers remarks, the beach access fob location (behind the front door in a little pocket) needs to be more obvious or it needs to be in the property details. Great stay for our little family, we will return!

Updated and clean and wonderful view
We really enjoyed our time there! Wonderfully equipped kitchen, and it was nice to have extra trash bags in the kitchen trash cans! The elevators were fast and our master bed was comfortable!! The only problem we had was not knowing that the boardwalk entry fobs were hanging on the back of the door. It would be helpful to list that in the check in process. We called the property office and were told that the next morning but couldn’t get out on the beach upon arrival because we arrived after office hours. We are already planning to go back next year!!
